Gordy, the former weatherman (played by John Amos) has hit the big time. He has a huge contract to do a talk show in New York City. He comes to Minneapolis and stops at WJM. Of course, all Ted can think about is trying to get Gordy to make him a co-host. He is about as obnoxious as he has ever been. Gordy finally has to let him have it verbally because Ted won't back off. He tells Ted he just isn't good enough. Lou throws a party at his place with lots of help from Mary (it is in deplorable condition). Ted vows to go and confront Gordy for what he said. There are a couple of nice scenes along the way, but Ted is such an ass that it's hard to enjoy him.
